There is no freedom, if there is no equality.

Activists have vowed to challenge a new law in Namibia that explicitly outlaws same-sex marriage and overturns a landmark LGBTIQ-affirming ruling by the Supreme Court.

The Act explicitly limits the definition of marriage to “a legal union between two persons of the opposite sex.” It further states that “a marriage or marital union between persons of the same sex wherever concluded” is not recognised in Namibia.

This clause is widely seen as an attempt by the government to overturn the historic May 2023 Supreme Court ruling, which ordered the state to recognise same-sex marriages legally performed in other countries.

Who instated this new law come from? And why is this sudden change?

Prominent Namibian and co-founder of Equal Namib Omar van Reenen joins us now.
